I am going t have a tutorial with my tutor tomorrow s I decided to finish off my work so I can talks him about any further changes or more work I cave to do before reaching the deadline.

Sunday 13th January. Futsal shooting day

Today was the last game of futsal, my role for today was t be a runner, camera assistant, and a floor manager assistant.
I arrived there at 2pm. And was waiting around for a while for the equipment to come. The equipment came around half 2 and we began t setup. I helped setting up by setting up camera 1 and taking the XLR cable t the camera. When everything was set up, I placed mats over the cables aspecially at the entrance where the spectators would be walking over them. Then put warning tape around them to secure them to the floor.
We then had a production meeting where Luke was giving out running orders, camera scripts for camera men and other information. I was a runners. Received a running order so tha I can keep an eye on what's happening on the game aspecially when I go to the other side of the pitch.
as the game started, I kept a look out to see if anyone needed an do with anything. I was asked to be a camera assistant s I therefore helped carry the wire when Danny to the camera over to the pitch a the start of the game.
I was then asked to sit with the score person at the other side of the pitch to let the production team know the subs for the commentators. I gave a small introduction to the man to let him know wha. A doing and he gave me some information with the players names and numbers on. But I only needed the numbers. After giving information over to Erin (the floor manager), there was difficulty with them hearing what I was saying and it was soon to notice that my talkback wasn't working properly. I checked to see if it was on the right Chanel and battery check, that was fine. Dann had an idea of using Facebook as a matter of communication but everyone was using their laptops s it was decided that it was no bother anymore.
When I came back t the other side, just helped out with camera 4 carrying the wire and looking out t see if anything needed doing. Wen the game finished, I got the 2 coaches to come over for an interview.
We then packed up and returned the equipment back in the van to finish for 7:15pm.

Friday 11th January: Colin

Today I edited my v.t. i found it rather easy apart from a few sound issues, also some shot weren't what i wanted so i put some cutaway shots over them.
The graphics that i made last night, i thought didn't look quite professional so i therefore made a new one.
i left my ending piece at home on the tape as i was editing the last part of the v.t so i just had to fade the black intead.
i finally went through the sound before putting the V.T on the trickster for Sunday.

Thursday 10th Jan: Colin

Today i prepared some pre-production work for my V.T. I made a running order, risk assessment and a call sheet.
At 8pm, i met Nyasha at the leisure centre at Belle due. We set up and began filming. I felt that the overall filming went well however the main problem was that one of the players didn't have their uniform on so i had to avoid filming him which was difficult at times especially when shooting a LS of them playing. Sometimes the ball would come near the camera or hit my leg which was a bit of a distraction, also i had to change one of my lines as there was an mistake with a line of my script 'fifa futsal' didn't win the world championship, so i will change this in editing.
We also had a problem with sound. The mic wasn't working properly and picked u too much background noise which could be difficult to resolve in editing.
When shooting the interviews, I felt that. Sold of done over the shoulder shots instead of two way mid shots a the shots would be more on their face instead of jus the sided of their faces. Overall however, I felt that i Got all the main shots and interviews that I needed for my v.t.

11th December: Pete pitch prep

Tonight, i shot some pieces for my presentation pitch for tomorrow.
i decided to make a short video lasting around 1 minute to add into my power point. i made a top for the video, i thought this would be a good idea for my pitch a it would create some visual impact to my idea and to make it more stable and interesting.
I basically self directed a simple single camera piece in front of a table and chair with my sewing machine on it and made a staples top.
i felt this went very well as i was able to shoot and edit the piece all in one night. a few alterations could have been made to the quality but as it was for the pitch i didn't mind about this.
